Profit on the Football is a new to market sports betting tipster service that is operated by one Chris Carter. He claims that his approach to betting will allow you to produced a profit through betting on the lower leagues.
Introduction to Profit on the Football
It’s no real secret that getting decent value from football betting is a difficult thing to do. The fact is that it is a bustling betting market with many different potential outcomes. This applies especially in the top leagues where things can be much more unpredictable. As such, favourites end up being ridiculously shorted, longer shots don’t really offer returns that are worthwhile, and most people end up playing silly accumulators in order to make a bunch of “sure fire things” actually worth the risk of putting a tenner on.
But one of the things about football betting is that… well, there’s a massive amount of it to bet on. You don’t have to bet on leagues where there isn’t value when there is so much more out there. Of course, knowing what to bet on is a difficult thing. Enter Profit on the Football. Chris Carter says that he is able to extract much better value through his betting which is focused on Championship and League One bets. Seemingly, there is something to this as well with a few examples shown of bets that whilst not huge value, certainly look pretty good.
Combine this with some pretty hefty claimed profits and at a glance, Profit on the Football really does look like a massive winner. Especially because Chris Carter isn’t exactly asking a lot for access to the service either. So, we’re onto a winner then huh? Well I’m not quite sold on that, if I’m honest. As is so often the case with this sort of thing, it looks good superficially. Start to scratch the surface though and I can’t help but feel like that it doesn’t really stand up much to scrutiny. So, let’s explore this a bit.
What Does Profit on the Football Offer?
Given that Chris Carter is keen to talk about maximising the value from his betting, I will say that I sort of expected a little bit more from Profit on the Football than there is. Instead, this is ultimately a very straight forward footballing tipster service. Now, in and of itself, this isn’t a criticism. Simplicity doesn’t have to be a negative. It’s just… here, it might be indicative of that.
This is something that is ultimately quite a claim. I am all too aware of this. But this isn’t an idle thought with no grounding. Which I believe will become pertinent when I talk about the bets themselves. But before I start to get into the specifics of the betting and what that seems to mean, I want to start by talking about how Chris Carter manages Profit on the Football.
Probably not overly surprisingly, the best way to explain this is… well, it’s pretty standard fare for this sort of tipster service. Selections are sent out to Profit on the Football subscribers directly via email. As you would probably expect, there is definitely a focus more on weekend betting (although Chris Carter does say that he’ll cover the odd midweek game). All that you need to do is follow the advice.
Now, whether or not you are getting the right advice is something that is at least somewhat up for debate. On a personal level, I feel like the information that Chris Carter provides for Profit on the Football is a bit sparse. There is enough to know what bet you’re placing, but that’s about it. You’re pretty on your own.
Realistically, I can’t help but feel like if you were going to try and follow Profit on the Football, I would want to be using an odds comparison site. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that insight doesn’t seem to be high on Chris Carter’s list of priorities. He appears to place all of his bets through Betfair, but honestly, that only becomes more of a cause for concern in my eyes.
So, let’s talk about those bets. First things first, I want to focus on the odds. You see, Chris Carter talks a lot about how he is able to get better value from bets because he’s focused on Championship and League football. But it’s worth keeping in mind that a lot of bets that you’ll see are still barely above evens. That is why I think it’s so important if you are following Profit on the Football to maximise your win potential.
Something that I will concede is that you see slightly better odds when you aren’t just backing a team to win. Whilst this is undoubtedly the betting market that Chris Carter is most focused on, Profit on the Football also involves backing a draw and the occasional smaller scale acca. There is at least a bit of variety here which is something that can at least be put firmly into the “positives” category.
With all of that out of the way, let’s talk numbers. This is an interesting thing, because Profit on the Football might seem like quite a lot. But it is all a question of perspective. First things first, Chris Carter advises 6-10 bets per week. That isn’t particularly high volume, but you will mostly be dealing with them all in one go. Something that is worth keeping in mind.
In terms of stakes. Everything is simply based around level 1 points takes. This makes following Profit on the Football easy enough. But what stands out to me is that Chris Carter does say that a betting bank of just 30 points is recommended. That really isn’t a lot. Potentially just 3 weeks to a month of betting if you hit a really bad streak.
Of course, in theory, you should be winning relatively often. But it’s of note that Chris Carter doesn’t actually make any claim in terms of a strike rate. The closest we come to this is a claim that a profit has been made 12 out of 15 weeks, as well as some incredibly limited evidence that shows 8 winning bets from 11. So an implied strike rate of about 75%. But none of this is explicitly explored with Profit on the Football.
How Does Profit on the Football Work?
One of the big issues with Profit on the Football, as I’ve already touched on really, is a lack of information and insight. This of course applies in terms of what you are sent, but it also applies when you (try to) look at how everything works. Because Chris Carter doesn’t actually tell us anything that is of substance.
About the closest that we get to insight into how Profit on the Football works is a statement that Chris Carter makes wherein he says that he has “watched [Championship and League One football] religiously for over 15 years” and that he has “knowledge of each team in the division and watch as many games per week as [he] can”. This sounds good, but we aren’t actually being told much of anything.
Of course, there is a more apparent element. That is the fact that betting on these lower leagues supposedly allows you to obtain better value. If I’m honest, I’m not entirely convinced by this argument. Whilst there is marginally better value to be had betting on the lower leagues, Profit on the Football isn’t getting such better value that it provides much of an edge over the bookies in the long term.
On top of this, there isn’t really much evidence backing up Chris Carter’s claims. He likes to talk a lot about the benefits of following his advice, but when you really break it down, I don’t think that he proves anything. This is of course not just the lack of proofing (although that is an issue), but you’re looking at a single week of betting and Chris Carter saying that he can pick winning bets cos he watches a lot of football. It’s hardly conclusive.
What is the Initial Investment?
If you want to sign up to Profit on the Football there are two options available. The first of these is Chris Carter offering selections for the rest of the season. This is priced at £45 (plus VAT) and works out at less than £1.50 per week. That is seemingly an absolute bargain. Alternatively, you can pay £25 (again, plus VAT) for access for “The Next 10 Rounds Of Betting”. This will take you up to Boxing Day.
Something that is very interesting to note is that Profit on the Football actually comes with a full 30 day money back guarantee. This is offered as it is being sold through Clickbank, and they typically offer this sort of refund on all of their products. Rather concerningly though, Chris Carter actually fails to mention this anywhere in the sales material and doesn’t seem to hold this standard to himself.
What is the Rate of Return?
In terms of the income potential for Profit on the Football, this is quite an interesting read. You see, the headline talks about a profit of £2,168.75 after 15 weeks of football. That really sounds quite modest when you think about it. That’s almost 4 months, £2,200 over that period is around £550 per month as a profit. That really doesn’t seem unreasonable from Chris Carter.
This is only compounded when you look at the stakes involved. What little evidence there is shows that every bet has been backed at £25 meaning that we can easily calculate an overall profit for this period of 86.75 points. Again, that sounds very reasonable. About 20 points per month is a solid return and it is definitely believable from Profit on the Football. But all of this is based solely off Chris Carter’s word.
Conclusion for Profit on the Football
One of the single most important things when you are looking at any product or service is if you are going to get what you are paying for. And a big part of that is understanding what you’re actually buying. If you buy an OLED TV and it has an LCD Panel, well… that’s really crap. You pay a premium for that additional quality.
But what about if you had a TV company that just went out of its way to not talk about this kind of thing. Look at this picture that shows off our screen quality! They say. Here is a man in a white lab coat talking about colour gradients and correction. And then they charge you a few hundred quid to take one home. You still haven’t seen that TV. Then to top it off, they don’t give you a warranty card or a receipt.
This is quite important because I think that is quite similar to what is happening with Profit on the Football. Chris Carter talks a lot about things that sound right. It stands to reason that there is better value to be had in those lower leagues, right? And it’s demonstrable. I mean, didn’t he say that Chelsea winning had worse odds than Wigan beating Fleetwood. Absolutely, but longer odds don’t equate to value.
The problem that I have with Profit on the Football is that really, Chris Carter is seemingly just picking out games. How is he doing so? Well, he’s watched a lot of football. Honestly. Take his word for it. That isn’t good enough. Football betting is notoriously difficult to make money from. There is an inherently lack of value and things can very easily go wrong in a game. There may be something to betting on lower leagues. But it isn’t a betting system.
Even if you did want to consider it such. What proof do you really get to see that it works? A weeks worth of betting? Chris Carter claiming to have produced certain results over 15 weeks. He just erm… He doesn’t really want to show it. Instead, here is a week of questionable betting slips showing how you even that number over 15 weeks might be a bit low. But again, very little actual evidence.
One of the things that is hugely concerning to me is the fact that Chris Carter fails to mention the money back guarantee that is in place. Any tipster who is worth their salt will talk about this. Because Clickbank themselves are pretty much concrete when it comes to honouring this. It also offers reassurance for you as a punter. The only reason I can see that this wouldn’t be talked about in the sales material is simple. He is avoiding refunds on Profit on the Football.
But if you’re providing a genuine tipster service that genuinely provides profit potential, you shouldn’t have to worry about refunds. It’s all a highly concerning pattern that I have seen time and time again, and always from tipster services that just don’t perform as advertised. Profit on the Football seems to be the same way. Adding to this concern is the convenient fact that you’re betting on low odds bets. At least that way Chris Carter might score some winners.
For my money, all of these are massive red flags, and reason enough that I really wouldn’t look to recommend Profit on the Football. Honestly, it isn’t even like it’s that cheap. For what Chris Carter is asking for one of his “cycles” you can get much better and proven services elsewhere. They might not run for as long, but at the very least, they are operated for more than just quick and easy profit for a product vendor.
